The KISS Cares for Kids Radiothon will air live from Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo on WKSE-FM Radio, KISS 98.5 May 8-9 from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Tune in to Janet, Nick and Wease as they broadcast live from inside the hospital and share compelling and often emotional stories of patients with their families, physicians and other caregivers at Women & Children’s Hospital.

To make a donation by phone during the radiothon, please call (716) 882-5477. One hundred percent of the proceeds will benefit the new John R. Oishei Children’s Hospital on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.

Over the past ten years the KISS Cares for Kids radiothon has raised more than $3 million in pledges and has won national awards for its broadcast.

The KISS Cares for Kids Radiothon is coordinated with the Children’s Miracle Network, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping kids by raising funds for local children’s hospitals across North America.

The vision for the John R. Oishei Children’s Hospital is to be recognized as the innovator, the highest quality, highest value provider and partner, and the regional referral center for women and children’s health care for Kaleida Health, in Western New York and beyond. The John R. Oishei Children’s Hospital is scheduled to be opened by late 2016. For more information about the physician-led plans for the John R. Oishei Children’s Hospital, please go online at www.wchob.org/oishei.
